Ever thought of living a life, even if for a few weeks, of which you only dream of.  In the mountains, high up in the Himalayas, cruising on a bike through the rigid terrain competing with the forces of mother nature, chilling winds, snow, friendly locals, your thoughts, your spirituality and you.  If these words make your adrenaline rush, then the Leh Ladakh Bike trip is exactly the one you should undertake. 

In the state of Jammu & Kashmir the Ladakh region with Leh as one of the districts lies between the great Himalayas and the Kunlun mountain range.  The region seems to have close influence with Tibet in terms of culture and history.  Being close to China, this region has great strategic importance for India.  Off late this tourist circuit has become a favored destination.  The weather, the Buddhist people & the monasteries, the lakes, the cuisine, the overall thrill and adventure of riding a bike in such a terrain, well the reasons are plenty.  The Leh Ladakh Bike trip is definitely one of its kinds not only in India but anywhere in the world, the number of foreign nationals on bikes that you will come across during your trip is a testimony to that.

One can undertake a bike tour on his own for this area but a professionally organized trip is what most of the people will suggest.  And there are reasons for this and that too plenty of them.  Not only is the terrain difficult, for miles at a stretch one has to ride bikes where practically roads are nonexistent.  Stream flowing with a heavy gush of water from the middle of the road is common too. The area being a high altitude zone requires proper acclimatization as well.  Breakdowns of the bike and other contingent situations require assistance. Professionally organized Leh Ladakh Bike trips, all these issues are well taken care of.  You even have the support of trained mechanics, medics and a four wheeler following you, just in case some rest is needed by the rider.  So fun and excitement never take a dip.  Normally in the Leh Ladakh Bike trip, only powerful bikes are being used as the terrain demands this.  Additional fuel is a big challenge in this circuit as refueling stations are far and few, these operators carry with them extra fuel as per the requirements.

So when every mundane issue is taken care of, then all you are left is to soar the engine and enjoy this great Himalayan expedition.
